Last night was a beautiful night to go to the Summer Theater! The temperature was perfect, (somewhere in the 70's) no wind and not a hint of rain, like I said, a perfect night. The only thing that could have been an improvement, would have been leaving Caitlyn and Logan home with a sitter...We (or rather, Nate) took Logan to the bathroom 3 times, Caitlyn went twice. They squirmed in their seats and made the most awful racket ( they were seats sitting on concrete risers and the scratching/grinding noise they make is distracting) , they begged for drinks.They spilled popcorn. They whined that they were tired. By the time we left we said "Next year, you are staying with a sitter!" I cannot imagine what the row behind us was thinking, but I CAN bet it wasn't anything warm and fuzzy! It was like a repeat of church, except people had paid lots of money to be there...In ten years, we will finally be able to take the entire family without embarrassment! Oh glorious day that will be!!!

     For the last week, our cousin Ashlee from California has been staying with us. She is the sweetest thing, helpful, cheerful and just all around great to be around. She helped my kids clean the kitchen last night after the play...and there was NO FIGHTING!! even Guy was happy to be in there!The kitchen sparkled! So here is the problem, I need to inform Ashlee that she is no longer here of her own free will. That's right. I have kidnapped her! :)
